All of you guys that train, how much sleep do you usually get a night?
6 hours. That leaves you with 18 hours left to train.
9 hours if I can. The older you get the more you realize getting at least 8 hours is SUPER important.
I usually get about 6 hours on the weekdays and like 10 hours on the weekends. I wish I can get 10 hours every day but its nearly impossible with school

I lay down at 11 and I wake up at 730. So around 7 1/2-8 I would say.
4 hours. When the rest of the world is sleeping I am still crushing shit. I wouldn't sleep at all if that was physically possible and sustainable.
I hate sleeping because I feel like its a waste of time.Quote:

Agreed. Over a long enough time line your body gets used to running off 4 hours. Bulletproof coffee helps, but i would say once a month(usually a Sunday night) I crash out with the baby girls at about 7:30pm or 8pm and sleep straight until about 6:30am or 7am.Quote:

Josh, you are an animal!! My step father was, and still is, a champion body builder/ weight lifter. Until he retired he only slept 4 hrs a day for as long as I've known him. He is like 70 now and still competes all over the world and is in very good health, so I don't think it hurt him too much.
4-6 hours usually 4 at night then I hit a nap at some point for like an hour or two.
Around 5-5.5 hours on weekdays, sometimes I wish I could get 6. Unfortunately if you work full time and want to train, sleep takes steps down the priority list. 30 minute naps here and there work too
Not nearly enough. I hate going to bed before 1 or 2am, but I have to get out of be by 5:05am on workdays. I'm pretty tired by the time the weekend rolls around.
On the weekdays I prob avg 5-6 hrs. Weekends I crash and get 8-10 hrs both nights. Ideally I'd get 6.5-7.0 hrs on the weekdays and then 8-9 on the weekends.
6.5 hours average. A bit more when I can train every day and am hitting it up hard. One of my friends is a green beret, he told me that the armies opinion is that you can remain 100% combat effective indefinitely with 4.5 hours sleep/night.
Damn.. I was just half joking with the 6 hours thing. If i'm working construction and training I end up only getting about 6 hours cause I run out of time in the day. Here in Thailand tho, I sleep 7-8 hours every night and 1-2 hours in the afternoon ;P
The only times I've slept in the afternoon in my entire adult life has been if I was very sick. I dont understand how people can take daytime naps.Quote:

As much as I can get, usually about 7 hours on weekdays and 10ish on weekends.
But your sleep requirements change with age and activity level.
I stay up all night playing crysis 3. My effing Xbox will be the death of me. I can't turn that thing off.
